Ragsdale High School is proud to announce Elle Dawson and Kingston McDonald as this week’s Athletes of the Week for their outstanding performances at the 2025 4A Metro Championship, held last week at Southeast Guilford High School.

Elle Dawson, a freshman, delivered a truly dominant performance by sweeping all three distance events. She claimed first place in the 1600m, 3200m, and 800m runs, earning the title of 4A Metro Champion in all three events. Her endurance, determination, and competitive spirit were unmatched on the track.

Kingston McDonald, also a freshman, showcased elite speed and control in the 400m dash, where he captured first place and was crowned 4A Metro Champion in the event. His victory is a strong testament to his hard work and natural talent in sprinting.

“To see two freshmen rise to this level of performance in a championship setting is extraordinary,” said Ragsdale Athletics Director Deborah Jones. “Elle and Kingston are just getting started, and we’re incredibly proud of what they’ve accomplished so early in their high school careers.”

These remarkable achievements reflect the bright future ahead for Ragsdale Track & Field and highlight the dedication of its athletes and coaching staff.
